New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday addressed the Constitution Day Event and said ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’ is the powerful manifestation of Constitution’s spirit. Speaking on the occasion, PM Modi added that the Central government is dedicated to the Constitution and does not discriminate in development.
Saying that no nation today directly exists as a colony to any other nation, PM Modi said it doesn’t mean that colonial mindset has ended. “This mindset is giving rise to many distortions. We can see a clear example of this in the hurdles cropping up in development journey of developing nations,” PM Modi added.

He further stated that attempts are made to shut the path and resources for developing nations through which developed nations reached where they are today. “In past decades, a web of different terminologies was spun for this. But the aim has always been one -to stop the progress of developing nations,” PM Modi added.
Talking about the issue of environment, he said it is also being attempted to be hijacked for this purpose. “We saw an example of this in the recent COP26 Summit. If we talk of absolute cumulative emissions, developed nations have caused 15% more emissions than India since 1850 to date,” he stated.
“It’s a reality that even after decades post-Independence, a large section of people in the country had to suffer exclusion; crores of those people who didn’t even have a toilet at their house, who were living in the dark in the absence of electricity, who were without water,” he added.
He highlighted the importance of Constitution and said the drafters of it gave the Constitution in the light of the dreams seen by the people who lived and died for the independence and by cherishing the thousands of years long great traditions of India.
It's unfortunate that obstacles are created in development of our nation, sometimes in the name of freedom of expression&sometimes through other means. It's attempted to judge our nation on parameters of other nations, without knowing our situation or aspirations of our youth: PM pic.twitter.com/z8Zs4Cvsl1

“Investing oneself in understanding their problems, their pain to make their lives easier – I consider this the real honour of the Constitution. I’m satisfied that in line with this sentiment of the Constitution, a vigorous drive is going on to convert exclusion into inclusion,” PM Modi added.
Saying that hundreds of years of dependence pushed India into several problems, PM Modi said India that was once called a golden bird was suffering from poverty, starvation and diseases. “In that background, the Constitution always helped us in taking forward the nation,” he stated.
